CESSFULLY TREATED
DR. Borgeon, leading French doctor, has
new treatment for consumption
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulDhuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas
carrying the former into every part OF the
throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at effects
the Cause remains undisturbed
What this cause is has been stated by per-
haps the highest pulmonary authority in the
world; e., the Brompton Hospital for Con-
sumpdves, in London, Eng
This malady every year carries off from
one-seyenth to one.lifth of the entire pOpu-
lation Of England.
DR.. Payne NJ d., NJ r. G. p, London, is
authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion Of deaths
obtains in America
DR.. Payne also says that one half the total
number of deaths from all other causes
have seeds of this disease in the system which
only require some irritant to develop
DR.. Hermann Brehmer an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption is
caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs,
by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed. The
medical world recognizes them The uric
acid is the irritant in the blood that causes
the development of the seeds which DR..
Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes through
the lungs and heart, also goes through
the kidneys, and if they are in the least de-
ranged they cannot rid the blood of its kill
ing poison The thousand little hair-like
sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get
blocked up and diseased; and when they do
they corrupt instead of purifying the blood
Kidney disease may exist and yet no pain
occur in that organ, because it is deficient in
nerves of sensation.

soned blood through the lungs every second,
and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 30 per cent. of the victims Of
consumption were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poi
son to remain in the blood and irritate the
lungs. This uric acid is always fighting every
vital organ, and if there he any inherent
weakness in the lungs it inevitably cause
pneumonia, cough and consumption.
The real cause OF pulmonary troubles being
so authoritatively shown to be faulty even
though unsuspected action of the kidneys,
explains why, in order to master the dreaded
consumption, one must rid the blood OF the
uric acid irrtant which indames and burns
up the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great specific,

caused by uric acid, will not only be cured
but will be prevented

die of consumption.
This, then, is the condition of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weak
ened kidneys; second, retained uric acid,
poisoning the blood; third, the development
of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids
passing through them. Then there is little
cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow
matter is spit up, followed by loss OF flesh
and strength, with dreadful night sweats

which his stomach weakened also by uric
acid in the blood, cannot digest. Because
there is no pain present in the kidneys,
the patient does not think they are affected,
but the kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, and by
